Karen's note: In that second one, Adam pronounced "minger" with a hard g. That is, it rhymed with "ginger". Same with "mingy". "Minger"-- rhyming with "ringer" -- is a slang term here in the UK, but I've never heard the pronunciations that Adam used. Anyone want to chime in on this?

Ginger minger with hard g sounds is quite a common offensive phrase for an ugly red headed person. If you are a minger it basically just means you're ugly, or if something smells or tastes bad then it mings. Mind you most people that use that phrase are about 12 lol.

Minge is slang for a vagina. Minger might be considered more insulting by adding 'ginger' but I can't say I've heard it as 'ginger minger' with the 'minge' pronounced. I have heard 'ginger minger' with a 'ging' and 'ming' though.

For some reason when I say 'mingy' the way you're saying it sounds, I think 'mangy' as in having mange -- any of various skin diseases caused by parasitic mites, affecting animals and sometimes humans and characterized by loss of hair and scabby eruptions.

minging (or mingy) ginger minger (with hard 'g' throughout) = v common northern/scots expression used a lot when I was a kid.... Cumbria, Northumberland/borders area of UK in partic. Suspect it was used on kids drama show Kes when I was a kid too...

I agree with Emmx above with the meaning of minge. ALthough, in all innocence 'mingy' would also have meant small. I think though that STM is merely talking to a ginger person. Common slang / name for a ginger person - not necessarily derogatory but quite often said in jest.

That's funny! Crayon heaven! I hand pens to patients when I check them in so they can fill out the treatment consent forms, etc., then start them on self-administered tests. Sometimes it's hard to keep track of all those pens and I rummage around in my pen drawer for some more if I can't find one buried among my papers and such, and sometimes, I feel like giving up and using one of the markers I keep around for kids in case a patient brings their kids. :) Crayon (or washable marker) heaven!

Richard Scrimgeour is a Minger- this was said as a rhyme back in my uni days (except Richard was definitely NOT a minger, he was rather lovely). So UP North, minger sometimes does rhyme with ginger. Maybe your husband has northern roots? x

It may be different in other areas, but where I live minger's meaning changes depending on the pronunciation - when it rhymes with ringer it means ugly, but when it rhymes with ginger it refers to someone who performs cunnilingus - "minge" means vagina.

Ming (as in sing): disgusting, i.e. 'That mings.'Minge (as in singe): vagina (not a sexy word. Ugh.)Mingy: Sound, and meaning, similar to stingy.Minger: (as in ringer, not finger, to my knowledge) Ugly person, derogatory.Ginger: (when said like 'whinger,') hair colour / flavour / food. (When said with a hard G and to rhyme with 'singer') Derogatory term for person with ginger hair.

a minger is a term for someone you find very un attractive "my god i cant beleive you kissed that minger, he had a face like a smacked arse" well us english do come up with the best and strangest insults

have we? really? was it on mock the week or live at the apollo. must have been these are the only two things we watch. oh and ghost hunters. yes, my guilty pleasure! sorry baby, the cat is out of the bag.

Karen I think it's actually kinda neat that Adam learns after the fact! - Okay maybe a little strange! lolLove "fasty" so gonna use that one! But did he rhyme fasty with tasty? Was it “face-tee” or “fast-ee”? I have a friend who is originally from the UK and his description of "minger” (he says it like “ringer”) was quite graphic and disgusting. It was close to the #3 or #4 description of minger on the Urban Dictionary... ewww! Fun as always and soo glad you two are back!Sherri

Adam seems to be quite the rhyming "poet but he don't know it"! Not bad grammar folks, just an expression I grew up with in Canada. I love how we learn all of the different meanings from around the world.

I agree with Anonymous above....I don't care about the pronounciation! Just give me the defination of the words. I love being able to start every day with a laugh! It sets the tone for the rest of my day, especially when they creep into my mind randomly during the day!! Thank you so much!

Holy cow, what an education. It was very funny to find out that pregnant (ok, egg-laden) goldfish are called twits, but this! A 3-credit course.

dddaughter - I was thoroughly confused, too. Still am a little. I say "ringer" and "finger" with different g's. Would call "finger" a hard g (fing-grr), and "hinge" a soft g. Not sure what to call the g in "ringer."

And I have no clue what to conclude about all the above, just know that I never guessed the finer points of rude insults could hold SO much detail!! :)

Hahaha!! The comments just keep adding to the hilarity! Sorry Adam, I guess we'd better drop minge talk now! lolHope you both have a good night's sleep tonight, with no fatal falling figs to disturb you! :)Sherri

Glad your back Adam and Karen. Didn't know any of the ginger stuff here in Canada we are not nearly as creative. However Adam is the most brillent insult artist I have ever heard. Keep up the good work.I have to post as anonymous but I am Victoria from Alberta.
